"Attend the tale of Sweeney Todd … he shaved the faces of gentlemen who never thereafter were heard of again …” The Tony Award-winning best musical of 1979 makes its Sacramento professional premiere! The chilling, heart-pounding musical thriller of barber-ism and culinary crime tells the infamous tale of the unjustly imprisoned barber who returns to 19th century London seeking revenge on the lecherous judge who framed him and ravaged his wife. His quest to avenge his wrongs expands to include his unfortunate customers, and soon the resourceful proprietress of the pie shop downstairs has droves lining up for her "secret ingredient" meat pies! "Sweeney Todd” boasts Stephen Sondheim's grandest, most beautiful and ingeniously crafted score.
